Microsoft is further integrating OpenAI technology in its business products by giving Copilot for Microsoft 365 subscribers priority access to OpenAI's GPT-4 Turbo model.

These subscribers won't have any limits on the number or length of conversations they can have with the AI tools and will get to use a revamped version of Microsoft Designer later this month. Designer, which uses OpenAI's DALL-E 3 AI model, is a Canva-like graphic design tool that allows users to complete graphic design tasks, generate social media posts, or custom visual invitations, to name a few. (When it's behaving.)

Microsoft says GPT-4 Turbo gives Copilot users faster and more detailed responses than before. According to OpenAI's website, ChatGPT-4 Turbo is a more powerful AI model than its GPT-4 model because it can "solve difficult problems with greater accuracy" and is trained on newer data up to December 2023. GPT-4, by contrast, is only trained on information dated as recent as April 2023. The latest version of GPT-4 Turbo was designed to produce fewer "laziness" incidents, where the AI wouldn't finish a task or request, according to OpenAI.

Notably, it's now easier to get access to GPT-4 Turbo through Microsoft than OpenAI itself for business or personal use. OpenAI's website only lists ChatGPT-3.5 and ChatGPT-4 as options for its Plus and Team subscribers paying $20 or $25 per person per month, respectively. OpenAI accounts with API access are able to use the ChatGPT-4 Turbo version, however.

Microsoft won't keep, store, or use Copilot for Microsoft 365 subscribers' AI queries or data to train future AI models, according to the company.

Copilot for Microsoft 365 is a subscription service targeting businesses and costs $30 per person per month. For everyday users, Microsoft's Copilot Pro subscription launched back in January costs $20 a month and also includes priority access to GPT-4 Turbo, Copilot in some Microsoft 365 apps, and 100 priority boosts per day in Microsoft's Copilot Designer tool (formerly known as Bing Image Creator), which is separate from its Microsoft Designer tool. Copilot Pro also lets users make their own custom Copilot GPTs for specific queries.
